I have to say, your "channel" is my most watched. Even more than NBC, Fox, CBS, etc. You must be doing something right!

I would just like to point out that this is a tv show and not everything is 100% accurate when portraying someones character... Dike was awarded a Bronze Star for his action at Uden, Holland, with the 101st Airborne Division between 23 and 25 September 1944, in which he “organized and led scattered groups of parachutists in the successful defence of an important road junction on the vital Eindhoven (sic)-Arnhem Supply Route against superior and repeated attacks, while completely surrounded." Dike was awarded a second Bronze Star for his action at Bastogne, in which "he personally removed from an exposed position, in full enemy view, three wounded members of his company, while under intense small arms fire" on 3 January 1945. In preparation for the 13 January 1945 attack on Foy, Belgium, E Company was attached to the 3rd Battalion, 506th PIR. Division Headquarters ordered the attack to begin at 0900 hours. During the assault, Carwood Lipton, at that time the company's first sergeant, described Dike as having "fallen apart." Clancy Lyall stated that he saw that Dike had been wounded in his right shoulder and that it was the wound, not panic, that caused Dike to stop. Dike survived the assault, and eventually returned to the rear in the company of a medic. Afterwards, he was transferred to 506th Regimental Headquarters to become an assistant operations officer. Dike then moved on to become, as a captain, an aide to General Maxwell Taylor, Commanding General, 101st Airborne Division. He later served in the Korean War. For me, any person who served deserves our respect.

It’s amazing that even after losing limbs and being severely wounded those men were still joking about going home first. Most of those men never wavered. I love this mini series and truly enjoy watching you guys react. Great work.

None of this is verified. As a matter of fact, records of Easy at Bastogne do not show Dike was wounded. There’s a revisionist campaign going on recently, but no Easy veteran had anything good to say about Dike. Major Winters was particularly scathing in his opinion of Dike, so much so that he asked for Dike to be transferred out of Easy. “There was no way in hell he would ever come back to my Battalion”. Dike was a poor combat leader, which is why he was assigned to administrative duty. He came from an affluent, politically connected family in New York. I’d be happy to see a credible source.

It’s interesting that this episode was narrated. Does anyone know why? Do you think it was necessary?

Brandon Jarrett

I think they did that because Lipton was the main guy keeping everyone together even though he never took credit.

Donnie Wahlberg really shines in this series.

I hope there are still men like this in the military. I guess we won't know until it really matters.

Holy crap. Just... holy crap.

That guy running out there behind the enemy line and running back…. Moxie. Only takes one guy to show that moxie and lead.

Bill William

That's Spears, the one who supposedly shot the prisoners in episode 1. Him running behind the line is a true story, but apparently according to the Easy Company soldiers this episode didn't do him justice, which is crazy lol.

I agree it almost makes you forget about new kids on the block or the funky bunch 🤔 almost.

There are, just because our wars since WWII haven’t exactly been popular, or necessary, doesn’t mean men haven’t fought bravely and honorably. You don’t volunteer to choose your battles, you go when you’re called on and you do your job.

They give out Purple Hearts for concussions now, so take decorations and awards with a grain of salt. I had all kinds of ribbons from serving during Iraq and Afghanistan and the closest I ever came to combat was a threat that never happened.

It wasn’t the only narrated episode. I believe episode 2 and 9 are narrated as well.

Dike did abandon his men during the shelling. That’s enough to show he demonstrated poor leadership.

Michael Yoder

Great reaction y'all. Well done again. But Spiers! He saved there ass. The guy was awesome. And remember. This is all true. Stories told by the men of Easy Company. So what he did really happened. But awesome reaction.

Hello Asia and Bj. I would like to share this with you. It is very special to me. However first I would just like to greatly thank you for watching this series. Every time someone watches this series they honor the 101st AB and all the veteran's sacrifice's in WWII. My grandfather was 101st AB, 506th Reg, 2nd Btn, Item Company. He was the trigger half of the machine gun team. He pal'd around with his friends in his company but also gambled with Malarkey and was very close with Buck Compton. Infact that's who my father was named after. I have photos of them, His medals, and his jump notebook along with the stories he told me before he passed. HE WAS AN OG TACCOA MAN! Unfortunately he had the back of his leg blown off by a mortar round during the assault on Foy. He never recovered and had to be sent home which he had immense guilt about. If you have any questions I am here to share what I know. I just wanted to thank you both along with everyone here in honoring my grandfather and all the men of the 101st. It means so much to me and so many others. From the bottom of my heart thank you so much.

Our relatives must have seen combat together at some point in that case! Super cool. I am so glad that shows like this and The Pacific exist so that people who may not otherwise know about the sacrifices made, can learn a little something about what went on, and how the sacrifice and heroism didn't just end the day the war ended. And most of all so that people will remember these men and tell their stories
